De-register only if you want to use the same SIM on a non-iOS device.

If yes follow this

Insert the same SIM into your Android Phone. You may deregister iMessage online

Watch the GIF below. Here I have used another iPhone fro demo but for you it will be Android Device.

If NO

1. Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
2. Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
3. Restart your device.

Remove the temporary number from https://appleid.apple.com
